Locations of Symposium EventsMost Symposium sessions will be held at the Sheraton Hotel in rooms that are identified in the program. Exceptions include these:Reception Wednesday evening: USS MissouriSecret Sessions: Offsite Location
TransportationLimited bus transportation will be provided to SECRET sessions. The Offsite Location is a short 10 minute walk from the Sheraton Waikiki. A map is available in your registration packet. Buses will start at 0700 and run as late as required. On Wednesday morning, buses will start at 0620. Buses will run from the Sheraton Waikiki to the Offsite Location and will shuttle between these locations continually every 20 minutes. (on the hour, 20, & 40) Do not bring cell phones, pagers, writing materials, or bags to the Offsite sessions from the Sheraton.
Bus transportation will be provided for all attendees from the Sheraton to the USS Missouri on Wednesday evening for the reception. The last bus to the reception leaves at 1800. You may not bring bags to the USS Missouri.
BreakfastsBreakfast will be served Tuesday - Friday at the Sheraton Hotel.
LunchesLunch will be served Tuesday - Thursday at the Sheraton and Wednesday - Thursday at the Offsite Location. Symposium attendees may eat at either location. Limited coffee and snacks during breaks will be available at both locations.
Directed Energy Education WorkshopThe DE Education Workshop is a separate event from the Symposium, scheduled for Friday 21 November at the Sheraton. Any Symposium registrant may attend the Workshop.
AUDIO AND VIDEO RECORDING IS PROHIBITED AT ALL DEPS
